a little behind middle; a brown subterminal line from apex

 of cell in both wings. Hind wing: costa and termen to vein 

 6 strongly and evenly rounded; termen between vein 6 and 

 2 obtusely dentate; a fine brown denticulate discal line and

 greyish submarginal band; a small dot at the extremity of 

 the cell and two indistinct, angulated lines one before, the 

 other at the middle blackish. Hind wing rufous, broadly 

 greyish along the termen. Hind wing elongated and produced 

 at tornus, costa very convex forming with the termen a

Although this species in some essential points of venation 

 differs from the typical specimen, I prefer to modify 

 the generic characters and retain both species in the same 

 genus. In the present species the vein 4 of före wing comes 

 from well before the angle of the cell and 5 alone from angle, 

 vein 8 is given off behind the cell from the stalk of 6 and 7 

 and the areole of the hind wing is rounded at apex and 

 emits 4 stout long veins to the costa, all free. As in S. 

 Marshalli the areole is long and narrow, much smaller than 

 the cell but completely separated from vein 7, which is given 

 off nearly in the middle between vein 6 and the areole.
